American defenders Andrew Gutman and Manny Perez have signed 3½-year contracts with Celtic.

Both were immediately loaned Thursday to second-tier United Soccer League Championship for the 2019 season. Gutman was sent to Nashville and Perez to North Carolina.

Perez is a 19-year-old right back who was a sophomore at North Carolina State. He played for the U.S. at last year's CONCACAF Under-20 Championship.
